The FTC settlement agreement bans Google from misrepresenting its privacy policies in the future, requires independent privacy audits every two-years for the next 20 years, and requires that Google institute a comprehensive privacy program to safeguard its’ users data and personal information. The order applies to all Google products and services, including Gmail and Google Buzz.
